    I agree with Naro a Nation's culture is important and should be kept because it form apart of their identity. People can't continue to change their culture to suit other countries culture or else the nation will be lost and headed down a dark path where they may never have the mechanism to regain consciousness. Whoever don't want accept the culture go and live in the country with the culture you prefer simple

      This "anti-everything-"non-Jamaican"" is why dancehall is on a downward spiral. Jamaican produced Reggae is pretty much dead, Dancehall is soon to follow. Get up with the times and embrace change. Let Naro continue, he won't have any topics to discuss soon.

    Culture represents a group of customs that people practice regularly. Sometimes culture is localized. For example, the maroons practice certain traditions that the rest of the country still needs to learn. But they never tried to force those customs on the rest of us. Over time other things are added. For example, people of age in the sixties will tell you that dancehall was a physical space, and there was nobody selling drum pan chicken and soup outside that space. Homosexuality is not publicly accepted in Jamaica, but it has been around us forever.

      Respect that! I LOVE Jamaica, Lord knows I do but I think there are some aspects of the culture that is so incredibly hypocritical. The same Bible that speaks against homosexuality also speaks against fornication and judging the sins of others, however we tend to pick and choose who we want to blaze with fire and leave the ones we approve of alone. There are some cultures who believe in punishing a woman for having been raped, perhaps sometimes its the culture that needs to grow as humanity evolves. (Just sayin).

    Wow, the comment section is super dark. Shine some light. It’s people calling Ari bi because she isn’t condoning hate towards the gay community. Mind you Ari didn’t take any stance, she was just stating facts and coming from a logical thinking stance instead of emotions. To Naro our culture should evolve if it’s speaking towards violence against a specific group. While not disrespecting the culture and pushing any agenda in peoples face. It’s still wrong to make violence against a specific group as ‘culture’. Naro sounds very ignorant but it wouldn’t be the first.

    There's so many Gay persons living in Jamaica some out and some still in, how is it she who is following her dreams which so many regular folks do not do, is failing the culture and selling out..what happened to the those that are so anti gay, wearing the designers that are gay, isn't that appropriation? If a wealthy gay investor or gay successful producer came to Jamaica right now offering jobs and music contracts I guarantee it would not be turned down. The mindset that Jamaica has is the reason why afrobeats is surpassing and becoming the main genre of music and even coming back to Jamaica which many paid top dollars to see them perform.. I am sure Burna boy doesn't give a damn about lgbt topics and has locks and is widely accepted world wide. We are limiting ourselves for a topic that is present in our culture with or without Koffee.. let us choose our battles wisely.. if we were more disciplined I would understand.. but we are too wishy washy to have such a stand point on the topic.

      @@SolidRocEntertainmentSRE that’s fine, because you’re speaking from your book. Not the book of Jamaica. I disagree but many people disagree on beliefs in Jamaica. There are many schools of Rastafarianism, Christianity etc and what is right for one, is wrong for another. From church to church, house to house, brother to sister everybody is has different opinions.
      I think it’s impossible to neatly tie a “lifestyle” to an essential national culture, disregarding the prevalence of alternative “lifestyles” even when one seems dominant. That's like saying smoking weed is or isn’t essentially Jamaican culture when it is one of many “lifestyle” choices.
      An art form can be claimed by all as culture but the content of that art form is always broad. As i said Jamaicans can agree on reggae being Jamaican culture but not all Jamaicans can agree that such a “lifestyle” is right or wrong. so by all non-violent and un-oppressive means stand by your opinion.
      Anyway, I’m digressing and you made a point of saying ‘No one has to agree with me…’
      All I’m trying to say is when you say the phrase “our culture” it seems strange when Koffee is Jamaican, so part of the “our”. The lifestyle you want to protect from infiltration is not at risk. It can co-exist with other lifestyles as is already the case. Your idea of “infiltration” is the phobia I’m referring to.

    Ari's question is should every culture be respected! It's a valid question. The Middle East has many cultures that people are trying to eradicate because for the most part those cultures are anti women. Should those cultures be respected? Or, should humanity fight to eradicate them! Another valid point is it was culture to shun Rasta. Should we have respected that part of our culture?

Now Rasta is popular, and everybody chest high and think they can judge who more righteous than who. Just like how not all laws are moral, not all things within culture are right.

    Koffee always presented as a tomboy/ masculine girl. To say she is pushing an agenda rather than consider she's just being herself sounds biased. She has a wide fan base, to think you are the only ones she speaks to would be a mistake. Also consider how she identifies may also affect what and who she is speaking to within her music as with all artists. That said, I think people forget how young she was when she started her music career and she still is very young but we are now seeing her come into her own and become more comfortable within her own skin. That it is where authenticity comes from. I'm sure Koffee is aware of what ppl think about her and if this is who she is, I'm curious as to what ppl expect her to do? Hide? Pretend to please strangers who don't know her? The same ppl who scream agenda are the same ones who want to force other ppl to live according to what they believe and see fit and dictate their visibility. Live your life and allow others to live theirs. These same ppl who are hyper focused on her sexuality which she has YET to talk about, want to know more about her but in the same breath want her to essentially be quieter and dim her light and not stand out so much as someone who is different from what we are used to. There's just too much hypocrisy, bigotry, and ignorance around this conversation and it's so unserious.

    I'm so tired of the reverse discrimination. Live your life but don't force it down other people's throat. Why should Rasta culture conform to the what is PERCEIVED as normalcy and when they don't they are labeled as not being modernized, or they are of regressive thought. We don't always have to agree, but just as much as certain groups want respect, they should respect those who oppose their lifestyle. I'm also tired of the scapegoat that if someone does not agree with that lifestyle, they are violent individuals. There is certainly an agenda to normalize things or create the perception that it's widely accepted and that is far from the truth, not just in Jamaica but world wide. 100% with Naro on this one.

    The good name of both Reggae AND Dancehall was in trouble as soon as K0ffee --
    _who, by the way, is a JAMAICAN POP (JAMPOP) ARTIST and NOT a REGGAE OR DANCEHALL ARTIST_ --
    was given the 2020 Grammy for the Best Reggae Album. That was the open door for the f!nal phase of
    the opposition's attack on Jamaica's music and their overall cultural stance. This "Gimme" video was just
    the confirmation and official announcement of K0ffee's true colors.
    Two key things to consider seriously NEVER forget --
    1) An attack on Jamaican music and culture is, first and foremost, objectively an attack on BL/\C|< PE0PLE overall.
    2) The words "evolve" and "evolution" are derogatory codespeak terms to describe the coercive suggestion that a
    culture should (or must) compromise its original traditions and norms for the sake of appeasing the oppressor class.
    _(In other words, the New Age definition of "evolve" means to sell out the integrity of self or one's culture to please society.)_
    These terms are most commonly used in connection with "the agenda" AND against Black people, especially in
    connection with Black music known for its conscious influences -- Hip-Hop, Reggae and Dancehall.
    Notice how you NEVER hear ANY semblance of conscious lyrical content in mainstream Rap and Dancehall?

Now playing dancehall music or having a dancehall setting in a gay club may seems simple to some ppl but why if the genre isn't dancehall/ reggae and as a Jamaican entity despite her sexuality would she be ok with this.

If Koffee made a song professing her love for a woman she would identify her fan base and be considered authentic. Just like Shenseea they don’t want to take the risk of losing followers so they are tip toeing around.
